Being Together / Tony Romeo

-

 Being Together ..that was the title of my first  post, published in December 2020.  Actually my blog is called 'David Cassidy Being Together' and when I was thinking about the best name for it, 'Being Together' seemed to me the best idea, we fans, being together, talking about David Cassidy, his life, music and his legacy. But first of all, this is the title of a  great song, written by that forgotten genius, Tony Romeo.

Wonderful, the music, the lyrics and David's singing. I thought about that song while reading 'Cherish.', Louise Poynton's book, last night. After yesterday's post about Danny Calvagna, she remainded me, that his memories are in her book ( page 193), in the section 'The David Effect'. And of course I've read more, a lot more, thinking about the impact DC had (and still has) on our lives. We have different backgrounds, age, experiences, a lot of things, but on the other hand there are  so many similiarities..David Cassidy experience..

Another great song from 'Cherish'..

There was something Danny Calvagna wrote what struck a chord with me. That when he was 15 in 1970, and in a band, it wasn't cool to play The Partridge Family songs, and that he didn't say anybody that he wanted to be David Cassidy 'He was a guilty pleasure. A voice that I wished that I had'. And David Cassidy was a guilty pleasure for me too. I wasn't in a band, but I knew a lot of boys who were, my boy-friend's best pals, and I would have sooner died than admit that I'd loved David Cassidy and his voice. Those boys wore black t-shirts, jeans, battle dress jackets..The Police, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Joy Division..that was cool...

Danny Calvagna found a way to thank David Cassidy for so many wonderful memories, he played his music, brought joy and happiness. I write a blog.

Robyn Millan

  I learnt yesterday that Robyn Millan died last year. Someone published a post about the TPF's episode where she'd appeared as a guest star, 'Dora, Dora, Dora', Season 2 episode 1, aired 50 years ago, on September 17, 1971..And there was a comment about that episode that the script was poorly written, sexist etc. Maybe, no one would dare write something like that now, but the world looked different half a century ago..And I really felt sad yesterday because of Robyn. She started her short career in 1965, 33 credits, mostly tv roles - Mission:Impossible, The F.B.I, Hawaii 5.0, Ryan's Hope..But we would remember her as Dora, the girl Keith fell in love with, and Robyn, the girl David dated for a while.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmZnk9RFKm0&t=1s  In December 1971 on Photoplay Magazine an interview with Robyn was published :' He is just marvellous and really knows how to handle his success.(..) We hit it off from that first day six months ago.(..) I resp...

Love Is All That I Ever Needed. A David Cassidy Biography. Chapter 1

  Chapter 1 The Divorce David Bruce Cassidy was born on April 12, 1950 in New York City. He was born into show business, it was running in his blood. His parents were young and glamorous working actors. Jack Cassidy was 23 years old, Evelyn Ward 3 years older, both very busy with their career, frequently touring and absent. David spent his early years with his maternal grandparents in West Orange, New Jersey, just 20 miles from New York. He felt he was different from other kids, didn’t exactly fit in, his school friends’ parents didn’t look like his, they had ordinary jobs, like his grandfather, Frederic Ward, who all his life worked as a utility meter reader. David was a small child, slightly built, and had to wear glasses. During his life he underwent 5 eye operations. It wasn't easy to be the youngest, and not to have a brother or a sister. Someone to fight with, but also to play with, and to share love, good and bad experiences. He was a lonely child, brought up by honest,...

'He Was So Pretty You Couldn't Look Away..'

'and sexy in a way that is timeless.' It's from Kevin Fallon's article published on www.thedailybeast.com on November  22, 2017.  Maybe it's not the smartest thing to do, but the newest article about David Cassidy on Record Collector Magazine, and first of all different pointsview of it, made me have a look on some articles published after this horrible day,  November 21, 2017. But first a song. We experience another heat wave here in Poland, I haven't seen a rain in many days, which is scary, so maybe a song about a rainy day. We miss David on any day, and this is one of his best songs. And amazing, very moving tribute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ6qjfK72L8 We have 42 web articles from November and December 2017, on the website, and I can't see Kevin Fallon's on the list, even that I'm sure I sent it Jane last year, because this is not the first time I'm writing about this article. I'm a former librarian, I believe everything sho...
